Welcome, Moral High Grounders! Here is the audio version of the newsletter from Friday, November 15, 2024, which was entitled Pete Hegseth Is Trump's Choice For Siccing The Military On 'The Enemy Within' (AKA Americans).
Yikes, y’all, I wrote this on Friday. Now we have more and more coming out about the dude being flagged from National Guard service at Joe Biden’s inauguration for his Christian extremist tattoos, oh yeah and the woman who accused him of rape. He admits paying her off. He totally denies he raped her. So that’s a thing.
So I’ll get into all of it and hopefully update the story a bit in this audio newsletter!
These audio mini-podcasts are a goodie for paying subscribers, so if you want the extended remix version of the weekly newsletter, upgrade your membership to a paying subscription. You’ll get access to these audio versions, plus the new live-chat, plus some upcoming video collabs with other super-talented Substackers.
I went ahead and slashed prices after the election for the foreseeable future, so hopefully more people are able to join up.
By the way, as you read this, we just hit 7,000 total subscribers! It seems like we’re gaining about 100 new people per week — or maybe 200 a week lately — but I would love to grow so much faster. So please share this newsletter all the places you share things — Facebook, Reddit, Bluesky, Threads, even the gross Elon site if you’re still there — so we can keep growing faster and faster!
One day soon? More posts! More professional podcast that’s not just me yapping! Collaborations with other Substackers and interviews! The more people become paying subscribers, the faster all these fun things can happen. To give you an idea of what I’m thinking, somewhere between 15 and 20,000 total subscribers will be where I can really start doing bigger things around here, and start thinking about truly expanding this joint.
Thank you all so much for reading and joining and all the things, I adore you all.
